As we witness the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing world, it has never been more critical to support the rising generation. In this episode, educator, motivational speaker, and former professional athlete, Mark Sturdivant, delves into the importance of mentoring and inspiring youth — a generation poised to shape the world's future. Join me as Mark shares his personal journey of how others influenced him and what led him to create his youth centered organization STURDI (Success Takes Ultimate Resilience, Determination, Inspiration).
Furthermore, Mark discusses the hurdles young people face including mental health and societal pressures, but he gives practical insight and strategies to tackle these challenges head-on and prompts listeners of all ages to become advocates for children while recognizing the collective responsibility we hold in shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
As we tap into the boundless energy and enthusiasm of our kids, we uncover the blueprint for a brighter, more promising future, one that rests on the pillars of motivation, encouragement, and empowerment.
